U.S. Home Prices Rise 1.1% Year-Over-Year in May, Outpacing April's 0.9%

According to S&P Dow Jones Indices, U.S. home prices rose 1.1% year-over-year in May, accelerating from April's 0.9% gain. The 10-city and 20-city indices posted respective annual increases of 2.4% and 1.6%, compared to 1.8% and 1.2% in April. Chicago led metropolitan gains at 6.9%, followed by New York at 4.2%. In nominal terms, month-over-month gains reached 0.6% nationally and 0.9% for both multi-city indices. However, S&P's Rebecca Kaufman noted that with May inflation at 4.2%, the highest in three years, real home prices continue declining, and 30-year mortgage rates rising to 6.5% remain a significant barrier to prospective buyers.
